During April we have been working on the construction of our pergola. The plants are making good progress. Today I planted some bolloti and butter (spagna bianco) beans that I started in the greenhouse. It is very early for these to be out on the plot. We have planted these out under a square glass cloche. These beans need a long growing season and, if we are lucky, they will survive and produce a tasty crop.

The greenhouse is well ultilized in preparation for summer

We are using our greenhouse to grow vegetable and flower plants for both LottiePlotFour and our home garden. The night-time temperature is not yet consistenly above 5 degrees so the non-hardy plants are being pampered overnight in our lounge, but many seedlings are on the go.
